Celtic has recently signed Polish-striker Patryk Klimala, but unexpected consequences could arise from the striker’s arrival to Parkhead.
Celtic recently acquired Polish-striker Patryk Klimala in order to help provide cover for Odsonne Edouard and possibly act as a second striker in a new formation. However, his arrival could bring some unexpected consequences for the club and its current chemistry.
While some of these consequences have been mentioned by the media, and previously by The Celtic Bhoys, we aim to take a deep dive into what these could mean for the club moving forward.
Leigh Griffiths‘ role on the squad
The fan-favourite has had an incredibly tough time finding any type of playing time with the club over the last eight months. The striker took a sabbatical from the sport last spring in order to focus on his mental health. Since his return to football, his physical health has been in question.
When Leigh Griffiths can make it onto the pitch, he has the potential to be a match-changing type of player. However, his health has played a major role in his falling out of favour with Hoops boss Neil Lennon. Patryk Klimala was brought in to help alleviate those concerns. However, the arrival of the new striker could see the exit of the veteran.
